AMD Radeon RX 550 Mobile: specs and benchmarks

Summary

AMD started Radeon RX 550 Mobile sales 2 July 2017 at a recommended price of $79.99. This is GCN 4.0 architecture notebook card based on 14 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at gamers. 2 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 6 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 96 GB / s.

Compatibility-wise, this is card attached via PCIe 3.0 x8 interface. Power consumption is at 50 Watt.

It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 16.12 percent of a leader's which is NVIDIA Quadro RTX 6000.

Technical specs

Radeon RX 550 Mobile's general performance parameters such as number of shaders, GPU core clock, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed. These parameters indirectly speak of Radeon RX 550 Mobile's performance, but for precise assessment you have to consider its benchmark and gaming test results.
